Justice of the Peace Weddings/Civil Weddings

Ah, New Mexico! Such a captivating and fantastic state, when it comes to weddings we are a little different. In many places you go to the county court house get your license, ask to see a Judge or Justice of the Peace and Voila you are married! Not here.

While Judges and other authorities can marry you, they don't. Well let me remedy that, they do not really wish to. In the majority of counties in New Mexico the Judges are busy, so scheduling time to do weddings is not a genuine concern. Exactly what will take place is the clerks will offer to put you on a waiting list, usually 6 to 8 weeks. At that time, if a Judge is available you can have an in chambers wedding. Notice the if readily available? Nearly anything can trigger a hold-up, we had one couple who waited the 8 weeks, only to be told the Judge was away on business and could they come back in a week?

If you are from out of town you can not really wait around, and if you are from town do you truly desire to wait? For civil type of ceremonies we provide three alternatives.
